Elemente Uit Die Gesprek


Met ons besoek aan Gauteng die afgelope week het ons soveel navrae oor Die Restory se verhuising gekry en versoeke dat ons inligting daaroor moet deurgee, dat ons besluit het om dit vir die afsienbare toekoms as item in ons blog te plaas. 

Ons plaas ook van die foto's op Facebook en Instagram, maar dis handig om dit hier in die blog te hê omdat dit maklik is om jou hand daarop te lê in jare vorentoe.

Teen die einde van Mei wil ons alles oorgeskuif hê na Tafelkop. Om te sê dat ons dan gevestig sal wees is totaal onrealisties teen die agtergrond van tyd, kragte en fondse en die mate waartoe dit beskikbaar is.

Hierdie week is die hooffokus die ontruiming van Sebastien se rondawel en die vervoer van sy meubels en ander besittings na sy nuwe huis.





Die Mazda gelaai vir die skuif van Sebastien se meubels hierdie naweek.




Sebastien se leë rondawel




Matilda is byna klaar uitgesorteer in die spens, met die leë rakke die bewys daarvan.
Sy sê altyd dat dié ou rakke haar hart gesteel het toe ons die eerste keer in die 
huis ingestap het.



Die "middelkamer" wat nou as stoorkamer gaan dien soos gepakte bokse
hier ingedra gaan word en die res van die huis leër word.
Baie van julle sal hierdie kamer van retreat-dae herken.



Musiek

Die tema vir hierdie maand se musiek is afskeid, aanbeweeg, afsluit van iets, nuwe begin. Op hierdie stadium spreek dit tot ons.

Dit is egter nie net op verhuisings van toepassing nie. Dit gebeur ook in verhoudings, lewensfases, situasies. Met die afwagting, hartseer, onsekerheid en al die ander emosies wat aanmeld by die oorsteek van 'n drumpel.








Met ons liefde en dankbaarheid vir julle s'n. 


George & Matilda

Whistle while you work

Drawing by Ron Leishman When last did you whistle while working? When last did you hear someone else whistle while working? Somehow it bothers me that whistling has become an almost absent element in our work. The sound of a person whistling a tune while busy somewhere in the house or out in the workshop conveys something of an underlying happiness, satisfaction and contentment. An enjoyment of the work itself. The tune need not be flawless. Applying more air than sound won’t lead to disqualification, as long as the intention is there. Whistling can even be replaced by singing in all that I’ve said up to now. The same principles apply. The absence of any of these two activities bothers me because it says something about us doing the work and the type of work that we do. Can it be that our type of labour in this 21 st century is not conducive to either whistling or singing? What type of work is that then – draining, stressful, pressured? Or are our conclusions ...

Lessons in Sunbirdish (1)

I have no way of proving that God exists. For a long, long time I believed because I didn't think I had a choice. If it is a choice between heaven and hell, you do what it takes to secure your celestial seat. Somehow I never stopped to consider why I so strongly believed in a heaven and hell, but wasn't nearly as sure that there's a God holding the keys to them. Then the sunbirds came. Slowly but surely I am being taught the dialect I need to converse with God. Or rather, to follow on what seems to be a trail that God leaves me. Being just up ahead and beckoning me all the while, it's not a chase after or a search for God, but rather a joint venture with God scouting and reporting back when my spirit runs low on this journey through life. In  A Rare Find  and  Bird on my window sill  I touched on synchronicity. I have come to believe that consciously living our moments, awakens us to the fact that there are more things in this life than meet the eyeball. Things t...

A likely Hero: Jara Cimrman

As Matilda has already indicated, one of the most difficult things to do after you’ve visited a country is to return and convey something of what you’ve experienced. How do you show a city’s many faces, introduce its inhabitants? How do you tell of the effects a history has on people and of a stance towards life that can actually not be translated into words? In the case of Prague, it is very helpful to have someone like Jara Cimrman. ~ ~ v ~ ~ Petrin Hill, on the left bank of the river Vltava running through Prague, is in many ways a site worth visiting. Climbing the 299 steps of the Petrin Tower, inspired by the Eiffel Tower, gives you one of the most beautiful views of the city. But by going down into its basement, you enter into the psyche of the Czech people. Here, quite unobtrusively, is the museum for the “ Genius, who has not become famous ”. Matilda and I almost stumbled onto it by chance and as we went through the exhibition, our amazement over this brilliant ...
